The Tasmanian Tasmanian devil lives only in Tasmania. He devours his bones with fur and feathers – nothing is left.
The Alexandra bird butterfly is the largest butterfly in the world. Its wingspan can be up to 28 centimeters.
The red kangaroo is the largest marsupial in the world. A full-grown male can travel 8 meters with a single jump.
The Australians call their eucalyptus trees “gum” – this comes from the rubber tree, because they deposit tough colored resin when injured.
Australia is not only the country of Australia, but also the continent. Sometimes this continent is also called Oceania or Australasia, but the correct name is Australia. The continent has a total of 14 countries.
